I’ve got an E3 post coming up shortly, but I quickly wanted to post how excited I am that EA has announced that the “Create A School” feature is finally back in the game. This was a mainstay in all the NCAA games I played on the Gamecube and has been sorely missed in the [...]

If You Build It, He Will Come

My sports hero had a great day today–a grand slam and three run homer. …oh and after only two days of play, I’m calling MLB 09 The Show the greatest sports game of all time.

Busy Buckeyes
September 11th, 2008 · No Comments · Sports
I’ve been super busy this week, but obviously not around these parts. I’ve been working into the wee hours of the morning over at my Ohio State blog in preparation for one of, if not the, biggest college football games this season, Ohio State vs. USC. That’s not to say I’m neglecting my video games. [...]
[2 Minute Review] Top Spin 3
August 20th, 2008 · No Comments · Gaming, Sports
Should I break a sweat playing a sports game? Well, I maybe didn’t break a sweat, but I did cramp my brain. DO: Play possibly the most realistic tennis game ever. Overhand smashes, drop shots at the net and grunts that would make Maria Sharapova proud. (Okay, maybe that was just me) TYPE: Tennis (hopefully [...]
World Golf Tour

I have been meaning to blog about this for literally months. I get countless hits from Google with people searching for MMO Sports Games (I have a couple posts on the subject). I still feel strongly that eventually someone is going to figure out a viable MMO Sports Game. I think golf is probably going [...]
Catch me if you can!

I can’t stop laughing at this video from EA’s NCAA 09 (h/t EDSBS). I was briefly considering a purchase of this game following Bill Abner’s initial reports, but those became less enthusiastic. Then Bill Harris pretty much took the wind out of the sails. This video pretty much capsized the boat. This is just ridiculous. [...]
Comic Watch [Fox Trot]

Bill Amend nails the popular webcomics good. I wonder what they each thought of being included in Fox Trot? (I’d think it was pretty cool) Link.

Customizable NCAA 09 Covers

First of all, did you know Wal-Mart had a Blog? Not just a blog, but a rather large, multi-authored blog? I sure didn’t. Anyway, I’ve railed for a long time that EA should offer regional covers for their sports games, but more specifically, for the NCAA 0X series. I don’t mind buying a college football [...]
In [Nat's] Hands: FFVII:Crisis Core and Okami
April 23rd, 2008 · 5 Comments · Gaming, Sports
I am torn. As hard as I try, I cannot play two games at once. I’ve only played one Final Fantasy game all the way through. In fact, I played it to almost 100% completion. That’s not entirely true. In college, my PSOne was powered on for a single semester. It played one game the [...]

State of Sports Games
November 8th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Sports
A while ago, Bill Abner had a piece at the Escapist about the Stagnant State of Sports Games. I meant to link it back then because it was a good read, but never got around to it. So I’m linking it now. I was reminded of Bill’s article because today I also came across this [...]
